The focus is on devout churchman and intellectual Johannes Ockeghem - as he lands a court appointment with a king whose consort is said to have an annual wardrobe budget rivalling the full cost of her sizeable chapel choir.

Donald Macleod ends his look at the intersecting lives of two master-musicians from the Renaissance with the final years of Jacob Obrecht, when he at last achieved the Italian court job he had coveted all his life, only to lose it almost as soon as he had landed it.

Plus a chance to hear music from the work Obrecht described as the sphinx among his mass settings and a final farewell to Johannes Ockeghem.
